I have asked this question within the last couple weeks-no reply. Thunderbird spell checker (check while typing) , it will snag a word that is correct because somehow it misses the first letter. Correction (with no other action) then will give you a misspelt word again as the first letter is doubled. When sorted moments later the same word will be half snagged as misspelt ie again start-up letters in that word not seen by spell checker. Happens several time per email mostly. MARTIN looked at it but his reply was from a 'noreply' email. I am using Thunderbird 45.1.1 Thank you Alan

You have been told twice already about the way to reply to messages posted here.

Email is not required nor used. Just follow the link in the notification email and it'll bring you back to the forum.

I can't replicate your issue so I don't know where to start with it. Is it any better behaved if you start Thunderbird in its Safe Mode?

I have same problem. Basically, if I type a word incorrectly, then backspace over the last part of the word until I reach the error, then type the word correctly, often TB red underlines everything after the correction as an error. It seems to think that I have inserted a space before the correction, and so flags that uncompleted end of the word as an error.

In June 2016 when I first snagged this problem, I got a partial answer from someone on this Forum,they could see that my issue of TB had a 'bug' but they couldn't pursue the problem. I tried to re enter the Forum to continue the discussion but the Forum web site said my Username had been 'sabotaged' and I couldn't get into the Forum. So I failed to follow this up. I stil have the spell checker problem. TOYVAN
